fairfield radiators....theyll flush it and put a new radiatior in if thats whats cracked in for cheap....

but it could just be a hose leaking.....do you know where its leaking from?

PS dont use that cheap sealant shite....just get it changed for a couple of hundred...

there is two radiator places in fairfield....on fairfield street. One at the servo, and one in the estate next door at the back. I got mine replaced at the one at the back, but I heard from cousins the one at the front is better.

as for standard clutch, I got to about 130K before it was changed. You can tell when it stops gripping, and seems to get pretty high....

as for hd clutch. Up to you. I've just put one in mine, when I changed my gearbox, and yeah...its great. Depends on if you want your clutch to feel stock, or have a bit more bite.

most people here are using the Exedy HD, or Exedy Organic. I'm using the Exedy HD, which has a bit more bite than stock. I would go the whole clutch kit. Average price about $400 mark
